Too Much Info
I made a post a while back called "I Didn't Need to Know That" (read it here). A brief explanation of how this game works is this:
Shall we play a game? It's called "I Didn't Need to Know That". It can also be called "Sentences I Never Needed to Hear". Here's how it works: think of a time when someone shared way more information with you than you ever needed, or wanted, to know. Post it in the comments section and then everyone can sympathize with your uncomfortableness.
The reason I'm visiting this topic again? I have another one to add to the "Sentences I Never Needed to Hear" archives. Last night we got our taxes done. Our tax preparer is a nice guy...a bit chatty...but nice. They have two beagle dogs that are super well-behaved and very cute. Now that we have Pixel, who is part beagle, we were chatting about dogs and puppies. Keep in mind that this man is what would be considered an acquaintance...we see him once a year when he does our taxes...not someone that we chitty-chat with on the weekends or anything. Things got a little uncomfortable/strange when talking about the dog he said,
"She used to make it through the night without going out...but we found out she has infected anal glands...and ever since she's had these infected anal glands she has been having to go out in the middle of the night again...about 3 am."
Who uses the phrase "anal glands" twice in one sentence? To a stranger nonetheless?
